School is just another obstacle we all must go through in life. It could be challenging for most but it is very effective in all the right ways and rewarding. In fact, I love my first year in college, the freedom to make all the choices as an adult is unexplainable. It does get frustrating at times, because my priorities get sort of screwed up. My life outside of school at times could be distracting, with the drama of others, or personal decisions I choose to make, and the many distractions we have all aroundus. The urge to watch my favorite TV show, the urge to text my buddy all day, the urge to go do something fun after school, takes a lot of time from me, when I could be doing school work.
In college, the work load is very doable, but it does push us to do more so that we could broaden our thinking and do things we never done before. So going from high school where three page essays were the “big monster”, to eight pages and more in college, it is extremely shocking, but it is nothing impossible. That’s when I need to stop being lazy and work for what I want in life.
But my personal push and extra motivation, just reminds me that, this is not the time in my life to play around and mess everything up. My parents constantly remind me that I need to keep my head in the books and stay focused and that the parties will always be there. They also constantly drill these very words in my head “quit trying to grow up so fast, live life now and enjoy it, you will miss it.” But as a curious fellow I am, I don’t always listen, that’s part of growing up, making your decisions and learning from it. But another motivation is the dream life I want to have, and to fulfill it, education is a must.

I think we're all in a rush to grow up at times but in the end our parents are almost always right.
ReplyDeleteI like your parents' advice!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to look away from our urges.. lol good post.
ReplyDeletemy social life is the biggest distraction i have.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100% Vincent... to succeed in life, education is a must. With this in your mind all the time, I know that you will do well in school and in everything you will venture in.
ReplyDeletei know how you feel when you were talking about procrastinating instead of doing school work. I do the same thing
ReplyDeleteThis is most likely going to be one of the easiest times of your life. As you get older it gets harder. My dad used to always joke with me that I was in such a rush to graduate and work for the rest of my life. Then he would say, "I'm closer to retirement than you are."
